TRANSLATION TOOL, V3.0:
======================
This transation tool should greatly help Koha translators. It's composed of
2 scripts:
* xgettext.pl, that extracts the texts in a template, and which is called by
the script
* tmpl_process3.tmpl, which can do 3 things:
+ create a file with all the "translatable strings" in all files in a
directory (& its subdirectories)
+ update an existing translation file.
+ rebuild translated templates from english & translation file.
Call tmpl_process3.pl --help to get a more detailed explanation. Some
additional explanations are also available by calling perldoc tmpl_process3.pl.
HOW TO TRANSLATE Koha:
=====================
1. Create your translation file:
./tmpl_process.pl create -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/
opac-tmpl/default/en/ -s css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
(In the above example, /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default
/en/ contains the English templates in the "default" theme, and po/
css_opac_fr_FR.po is where you want the generated PO file to appear.)
2. Translate your css_opac_fr_FR.po file using a text editor or a PO file
translation tool.
3. Create your translated templates:
./tmpl_process.pl install -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/
opac-tmpl/default/en/ -o /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/
default/fr2/ -s css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
(In the above example, /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default
/fr2/ is where you want your translated templates to be saved.)
4. Copy images/css files in your new directory (as they are NOT moved by
tmpl_process3.pl install).
If something changes in English version:
1. Update your translation file:
./tmpl_process.pl update -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/
opac-tmpl/default/en/ -s po/css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
2. Translate your new css_opac_fr_FR.po file. Look for strings marked as
"fuzzy" and strings that are not translated.
3. Create your translated templates:
./tmpl_process.pl install -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/
opac-tmpl/default/en/ -o /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/
default/fr2/ -s po/css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
4. Copy new images/css files in your new directory if needed

For a somewhat up-to-date list of weaknesses, please run perldoc xgettext.pl
and perldoc tmpl_process3.pl and read the BUGS sections.
